Subject: [PATCH v8 10/12] blk-mq: use hk cpus only when isolcpus=io_queue
 is enabled

Extend the capabilities of the generic CPU to hardware queue (hctx)
mapping code, so it maps houskeeping CPUs and isolated CPUs to the
hardware queues evenly.

A hctx is only operational when there is at least one online
housekeeping CPU assigned (aka active_hctx). Thus, check the final
mapping that there is no hctx which has only offline housekeeing CPU and
online isolated CPUs.

Example mapping result:

  16 online CPUs

  isolcpus=io_queue,2-3,6-7,12-13

Queue mapping:
        hctx0: default 0 2
        hctx1: default 1 3
        hctx2: default 4 6
        hctx3: default 5 7
        hctx4: default 8 12
        hctx5: default 9 13
        hctx6: default 10
        hctx7: default 11
        hctx8: default 14
        hctx9: default 15

IRQ mapping:
        irq 42 affinity 0 effective 0  nvme0q0
        irq 43 affinity 0 effective 0  nvme0q1
        irq 44 affinity 1 effective 1  nvme0q2
        irq 45 affinity 4 effective 4  nvme0q3
        irq 46 affinity 5 effective 5  nvme0q4
        irq 47 affinity 8 effective 8  nvme0q5
        irq 48 affinity 9 effective 9  nvme0q6
        irq 49 affinity 10 effective 10  nvme0q7
        irq 50 affinity 11 effective 11  nvme0q8
        irq 51 affinity 14 effective 14  nvme0q9
        irq 52 affinity 15 effective 15  nvme0q10

A corner case is when the number of online CPUs and present CPUs
differ and the driver asks for less queues than online CPUs, e.g.

  8 online CPUs, 16 possible CPUs

  isolcpus=io_queue,2-3,6-7,12-13
  virtio_blk.num_request_queues=2

Queue mapping:
        hctx0: default 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 12 13
        hctx1: default 9 10 11 14 15

IRQ mapping
        irq 27 affinity 0 effective 0 virtio0-config
        irq 28 affinity 0-1,4-5,8 effective 5 virtio0-req.0
        irq 29 affinity 9-11,14-15 effective 0 virtio0-req.1

Noteworthy is that for the normal/default configuration (!isoclpus) the
mapping will change for systems which have non hyperthreading CPUs. The
main assignment loop will completely rely that group_mask_cpus_evenly to
do the right thing. The old code would distribute the CPUs linearly over
the hardware context:

queue mapping for /dev/nvme0n1
        hctx0: default 0 8
        hctx1: default 1 9
        hctx2: default 2 10
        hctx3: default 3 11
        hctx4: default 4 12
        hctx5: default 5 13
        hctx6: default 6 14
        hctx7: default 7 15

The assign each hardware context the map generated by the
group_mask_cpus_evenly function:

queue mapping for /dev/nvme0n1
        hctx0: default 0 1
        hctx1: default 2 3
        hctx2: default 4 5
        hctx3: default 6 7
        hctx4: default 8 9
        hctx5: default 10 11
        hctx6: default 12 13
        hctx7: default 14 15

In case of hyperthreading CPUs, the resulting map stays the same.
